Another horse has died at the Melbourne Cup

Melbourne Cup contender Cliffsofmoher has been euthanised on track after suffering a fractured shoulder.

French-trained horse Verema had to be put down after an injury suffered in the 2013 Cup.

Fan favourite Red Cadeaux, who finished second on three occasions, was pulled up in the final straight of the 2015 edition of the race and it was later confirmed he suffered a break in his left foreleg.

Limb injuries are the most common cause of death for racehorses on the track. Hind limb injury caused 17 deaths.

In 2013, Verama was euthanised after a leg injury described as horrific by racing experts.

In a statement, RSPCA Australia spokesperson Jane Speechley said: "Our thoughts are with animal lovers across the country who have been affected by this loss, and confronted by the very real risks posed by racing to the horses involved".
